Someone has to want what they’re selling Someone has the money to buy Someone has to pay for the things that were done Are you Mr Knock? Are you Mr Lights-out? Feed them in and drown out the crying Drain them all and throw out the waste Appetite sated, belly all full Are you Mr Knock? Are you Mr Lights-out? We know you well We’ve seen your soul Children should be quiet Children should do as they’re told No-one’s gonna speak till we make them No-one came to answer our prayers No-one’s gonna squeal but the fires will burn Are you Mr Knock? Are you Mr Lights-out? Spit them out when nobody’s looking Empty husks eaten and chewed Yes we were scared, and yes we’re still frightened Are you Mr Knock? Are you Mr Lights-out? We know you well We’ve seen your soul Children should be quiet Children should do as they’re told Stopping to taste the flowers, A rough beast waits to be called Stopping to sharpen claws Everybody says they’re protected Everybody says we can’t win Everyone says we’re already dead Well this is the beast This is the lights on We know you well We’ve seen your soul Children aren’t quiet Children won’t do as they’re told
